LOMBARD, Ill. (AP) - Authorities charged a former Michigan State football player with first-degree murder for allegedly throwing a neighbor to his death from a third-floor apartment building balcony in this western Chicago suburb. Hubert D. Thompson, 28, was ordered held at the DuPage County Jail on $3 million bond Saturday. He surrendered peacefully late Friday after holing up in his apartment for nearly seven hours while police SWAT teams surrounded the apartment building. Police found James Malone, 66, sprawled on the pavement below the balcony when they arrived at the scene around 1:45 p.m. He was later pronounced dead at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. Authorities said they did not have a motive in the case. "The allegation is that it was unprovoked," DuPage County State's Attorney Joseph Birkett told the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald. "This individual is going to be evaluated, I'm sure." Since Thompson retreated into his apartment and would not respond to officers, police evacuated other residents of the building and surrounded it with a SWAT team, Deputy Lombard Police Chief Dane Cuny said. Officers from Downers Grove, Westmont and Darien eventually joined Lombard police. Members of Thompson's family also waited outside. Thompson surrendered peacefully nearly seven hours later after talking to a police negotiator, Cuny said. Thompson, a former star at Proviso West High School, was the top-rated defensive end prospect in the nation and the seventh-rated player overall by The National Recruiting Advisor during his senior season. He also won back-to-back state heavyweight wrestling titles in 1996 and 1997. Thompson later attended Michigan State and was named the Spartans' most-improved player in the 1999 season, when he recorded 45 tackles and seven sacks. The New Orleans Saints signed Thompson in 2000, but cut him after two days of practice, the Chicago Tribune reported. He also played for the Chicago Enforcers of the now-defunct XFL in 2001. Lombard police said they arrested Thompson in November 2003 on domestic battery charges. He pled guilty March 4, 2005, and was placed on conditional discharge. Malone's death was the first homicide in Lombard since January 2002, authorities said. Antoinette Hummel, who lives in the building next door to the apartment building where the incident occurred, said Malone lived alone.


There's been an iPhone app for scheduling recordings on a Foxtel IQ since 2009, and now Android users have the same options. The Foxtel Android app is now available in the Market, and enables scheduling if you've got an iQ or iQ2.
Even if you're rocking a more basic Foxtel service, the app serves as a handy TV guide. Foxtel is a free download for Android users (you need to register to enable remote recording).


During his worst slumps, I have stood up for writer-producer-director M. Night Shyamalan as being a magnificent visual storyteller, an artiste, a visionary, a bender (9). But now he's just a bender (3).
In trying to cram THE LAST AIRBENDER with lore from the manga TV series AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, and in juggling the ubiquitous special effects, it seemed too much for Night to handle, resulting in him having a bender (8).
Disjointed, badly-acted and – surprisingly – badly directed, AIRBENDER takes place on a world different from the Earth we know, as it follows a brother and sister from Water Nation, Katara (pert Nicola Peltz) and Sokka (vapid Jackson Rathbone) as they aid the last of the ancient airbenders, young Aang (Noah Ringer) in his quest to unite the five warring Nations, named after the five elements of Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Lame Special Effects.
Aang can bend the air to his desire, creating tornadoes, walls of force, lethal destruction, and has the potential to bend all other elements; that's the power you inherit from having an arrow tattooed on your head. Or something.
For the second time in his career, Night has populated his film with non-actors (as in THE HAPPENING), and I'm wondering exactly when he is going to notice. Noah Ringer is the only passable performer in the movie, and rides around on a big furry thing that escaped from Maurice Sendak's WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. The interrelationships between Noah and the other humans are so vapid and uninvolving, we don't really care what happens to anyone. It's like Night let someone else direct the interaction between his principals and went off on a bender (4).
I feel sorry for Dev Patel, who kickstarted an international career in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, and is now here, traveling the world through special effects and trying to act his way out of them. He plays ostracized Prince Zuko of Fire Nation. Like a bender (1). With his gang from Rydell High School, the T-Birds, he tries to capture Aang and the heart of Olivia Newton-John.Sokka becomes a sucker for Princess Yue and has a kiddie romance with her like a bender (3, 5, 6).
Movie throws us a bender (7) when we realize Prince Zuko's father (ominous Cliff Curtis) has sent out Commander Zhao (THE DAILY SHOW's Aasif Mandvi) to capture Aang in a race against his own son, which Zhao does with the lust of a bender (2).
Night actually leaves us with a cliffhanger – it's sad and pathetic and a bender (10) all at once – like he will ever get the funding to make a sequel.
Verdict: M. Night Shyamalan's THE LAST AIRBENDER is a bender. Know what I mean?
aka: AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER.
Starring: Dev Patel, Cliff Curtis, Aasif Mandvi, Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Shaun Toub, Seychelle Gabriel.


As our country steps up efforts against Islamist militants believed to have regrouped just months after their defeat in the southern city of Marawi, the first six military-grade drones purchased from the United States have been received last March 13, 2018.
The six drones – costing US$13.6 million are Scan Eagle unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are small, long-endurance and low-altitude UAVs built by Insitu, a subsidiary of Boeing.
These drones can stay in the air for more than 20 hours, and have a maximum flight height of 10,000 ft. Each drone is 1.2 m long with a wingspan of 3m, and is launched using an air-powered catapult. These are equipped with electro-optic, infrared and high-resolution video cameras that can track both stationary and moving targets.
According to Air Force spokesman Aristides Galang, these UAVs would be used to track terrorists in the insurgency-wracked southern island of Mindanao.
They will also be used for "limited maritime patrols" and to support government efforts against illegal logging and fishing. The Philippine military had earlier took delivery of three AeroVironment RQ-11B Raven hand-launched drones, and is in line to aquire two General Atomics RQ-1 Predator UAVs.
To keep track of about 1,000 Islamist militants who stormed and seized large parts of Marawi city in Mindanao in May last year, the military had to rely on drones operated by US Special Forces and AP-3C Orion surveillance planes flown by the Royal Australian Air Force.
"ISIS Philippines is discreetly recruiting members like wildfire, and it has established strong sleeper cells in key vulnerable cities in Mindanao," said security analyst Rommel Banlaoi, chair of the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research.
According to intelligence reports, they have indicated that militants are plotting to storm or set off bombs in the densely populated and much larger cities of Iligan and Cotabato.


Your heart and your words must agree for faith to work. Often believers will say one thing and then do something else. If you are not true to your word this will affect your faith. When you speak in faith you must believe in your heart that what you say is in fact already so, for you believe you receive when you pray (Mark11:24). So when someone consistently says one thing but yet they do something else, their heart doesn't know whether to believe what they say is true or not. Make sure your yes means yes and your no means no, for it will affect your hearts ability to believe, for as Jesus said all things are possible to him who believes.

The first image from The Young Offenders Christmas special has been released.
Alex Murphy, Chris Walley and Hilary Rose will all return for the episode, and will be joined by special guest Robert Sheehan.
It's Christmas week, and the residents of the estate where Conor, Jock and Mairead live have been fighting off an eviction from the council for over a month. The residents have created a barricade to show their determination that they won't be moved to make way for the estate to be renovated.
While all this is happening, Mairead has been sick for weeks and has to be taken to hospital. The situation proves to be more serious than thought and not knowing how to help, the lads ask Mairead if there's anything they can get her. The two friends set off on a chaotic adventure to try make her wish come true and in the process find out something about themselves and the value of empathy.
An exact air date has yet to be announced but the Christmas Special will premiere in December and follows on from hugely successful BBC series and smash hit feature film of the same name.

Q: Swing Table - rows I have to build a table with one column,exactly 24 rows and with function to add more columns.
Each row must have a specific height, which I do with cell renderer.
The problem is that the 21 row shrink and when I add a column it look fine.
What is the problem?

A: JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JTable table = new JTable();
JTable table = new JTable();

table.setRowHeight(32);
table.setModel(new DefaultTableModel() {
    public int getColumnCount() { return 1; }
    public int getRowCount() { return 24;}
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { return "Your content" }
});
frame.add(table);
frame.pack();
frame.setEnabled(true);
frame.setVisible(true);

A: Setting the height of the rows:
myTable.setRowHeight (24);
works with both Default and AbstractTableModels
Now if I only could find a way to make the height of the header same as the rows!
Anybody went there? Thanks, - M.S.

In the midst of the August heatwave, Maxence and I sat at a dappled table of a restaurant in Urdax, a pretty village in the Spanish Basque country, and ordered gazpacho.
It was brought to us in white ceramic bowls, with a side plate of toppings to sprinkle in — cucumbers, green bell peppers, and onions, all of them finely diced, flakes of serano ham, and tiny croutons — and we slurped it all down thirstily.
The nostalgic remembrance of this beautifully quenching tomato soup inspired me to make an easy gazpacho at home with one of the last batches of sun-kissed, ripe-to-bursting, fleshy tomatoes I got this summer.
Usually, when I lay my hands on excellent tomatoes, which is hard enough to do in Paris without taking out a mortgage, I tend to eat them simply, à la croque-au-sel (sliced and sprinkled with salt) or in very elemental tomato salads, dressed with a good olive oil, a touch of balsamic vinegar (I like the one from Beaumes-de-Venise I get from Première Pression Provence), a scatter of fresh herbs, and possibly a spoonful of black tapenade stirred in.
But the nostalgic remembrance of this beautifully quenching tomato soup inspired me to make it at home with one of the last batches of sun-kissed, ripe-to-bursting, fleshy tomatoes I got this summer.
It was astonishingly good, fruity and tangy and savory, all qualities a good gazpacho should display, and so gratifying I vowed to make it more often in the future. And after consulting my crystal ball, I saved a few servings in the freezer, in preparation for the gray months ahead.
A final note: some people say a chilled tomato soup that's thickened with bread loses gazpacho naming rights and becomes a salmorejo; I'll let you decide what you want to call it. And for a detailed discussion on the gazpacho-making technique, I'll refer you to Felicity Cloake's take on How to make perfect gazpacho.
What's your favorite use for those late-season tomatoes? A panzanella, slow-roasted tomatoes, a tomato and einkorn wheat salad, or something else altogether?
Put the bread in a bowl and add cold water just to cover. Let stand for 15 minutes, then squeeze to remove excess water.
In a medium bowl, combine the bread, tomatoes (including the skin, seeds, and juice), bell pepper, garlic, and salt. Put on an apron, and, using a blender or an immersion blender, process until completely smooth.
Stir in the olive oil and vinegar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to a day. Just before serving, add cold water as needed to reach the consistency you like.
Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve chilled, with optional garnishes such as finely diced cucumbers, green bell peppers, and onions, flakes of serano ham, and tiny croutons.

The EC reflection paper on sustainable Europe is a window of opportunity that the EESC is determined to seize
Statement by
Luca Jahier, EESC President
I welcome the much-awaited reflection paper of the European Commission "Towards a Sustainable Europe by 2030". I wish to congratulate First Vice-President Timmermans and Vice-President Katainen for this result.
Now there is another window of opportunity to further push the sustainable development agenda, which must become the EU's top priority for the next decade.
Let us be clear though: this is only the beginning of the road towards an ambitious and successful implementation of the sustainable agenda.
Since a long time, the EESC and myself have been calling for the adoption of a concrete, ambitious and fair EU SD Strategy. This political paper is only the first step of the process leading to an overarching Strategy that must tackle inequality, solve climate change and allow us to develop new economic patterns.
As the representative of Europe at work (employers, trade unions and civil society at large), the EESC is firmly committed to this Agenda for sustainable development. It is the only win-win agenda.
The new business opportunities offered by a sustainable development agenda are the new frontier on which European companies will compete with American and Chinese companies. The battery supply chain, renewable energies or electric cars are all key areas for achieving the economic and energy transition and for allowing Europe not to depend on technology from third countries.
2030 Agenda is also a powerful firewall against social and territorial inequalities; the SDGs call for no poverty and for a decent work for all.
Today's reflection paper provides a window of opportunity. We need to accelerate the transition and seize the momentum to do the right things. Now is the right time.
The Commission paper puts forward suggestions that we welcome, particularly in one of its scenario: "Specific SDG implementation targets should be defined at EU level and an overarching EU SDG Strategy should be implemented by the European institutions", the SDG progress should be monitored, "for instance of the context of the European Semester". Also the "sustainable first" principle to be integrated into the Better Regulation Agenda of the EU and its Member States is an interesting option.
Civil society organisations – to which the Commission's reflection paper very often refer - are committed to keep up the momentum on 2030 Agenda: sustainable development must be a central feature of the upcoming European elections and must be the overarching priority of the next European Commission, which should give it a prominent role to respond to citizens' pressing demand.
The EESC is at fore-front of the circular economy. We called for the setting-up of the Multi-Stakeholder Platform (MSP) and we have been an active member of it. The MSP's final report, adopted in October 2018, has proved to be an excellent document and an instrumental tool for moving on.
The EESC will adopt a specific opinion on the Commission's document and plans to organise a series of political events in 2019 during which it will further develop its recommendations for the future.
At inter-institutional level, the EESC will strongly cooperate with the European Commission, with the Romanian Presidency, with the European Parliament and with the Committee of the Regions.
We need to make sure that civil society gets properly involved in the monitoring and implementation of the 2030 Agenda, so that it can really make the difference.
This is why we welcome the Commission's recognition that it could not have completed its reflection paper without the invaluable input of European stakeholders, among whom civil society.
The Agenda must also constitute the basis of a generational pact: our children must have better perspectives than the current generation and must not suffer from the results of our action or inaction today.
Sustainability is part of Europe's DNA. It is about making our economies and societies sustainable and prosperous.
As EESC, we are convinced that the EU budget has to be consistent with the 2030 Agenda and has to provide the means and resources to achieve the SDGs in 2030.
2019 must be the year of the renewal: a new European Parliament, a new European Commission and a new fresh impetus on the 2030 SD Agenda!

Stranded — компьютерная 3D-игра от первого лица, симулятор выживания на необитаемом острове. Игра распространяется бесплатно, доступны английский, немецкий и русский варианты. C 12 марта 2008 года актуальная версия второй части игры имеет номер Gold 1.0.0.1. Исходный код игры (на базе движка Blitz BASIC) открыт.

Сюжет
Игра ведётся от имени персонажа, потерпевшего кораблекрушение и выброшенного на необитаемый остров. Персонаж имеет параметр голода, жажды и усталости, которые постепенно растут, и при превышении порога влияют на уровень здоровья. Голод необходимо утолять удачными результатами охоты, рыбалки, собирательства либо сельского хозяйства, жажду — питьевой водой из источников. Для отдыха необходимо спать. Для успешной охоты и рыбалки необходимо найти либо создать из подручных материалов удочку и оружие.

Есть три режима игры:
 приключение, в ходе которого главный герой побывает на 4 разных островах;
 одиночный остров (четыре острова, один из которых — обучающий, три других представляют собой мини-игры);
 свободная игра — генерируется остров с параметрами, заданными игроком.

Также есть встроенный редактор, позволяющий создать новый остров с нуля.

Геймплей
Игровой мир отличается очень высокой степенью интерактивности. В той или иной форме возможно взаимодействие почти со всеми объектами. В частности, игрок может плавать и нырять, рубить деревья, сажать растения, добывать из горных пород камень, железо и золото; убить любое живое существо (ради мяса и/или различных компонентов), копать землю, ловить рыбу, собирать грибы, ягоды и фрукты, строить сооружения.

Орудия и инструменты, комбинирование материалов
В ходе игры можно комбинировать подручные материалы и создавать орудия, инструменты и сооружения. Материалы можно собирать, добывать из растений либо дичи. Например, кору для разжигания костра, ветви, листья можно добыть из деревьев. Из птиц можно кроме мяса добыть перья. Из животных — шкуры. Большинство комбинаций состоят из двух-трёх предметов, однако есть исключения — например, для создания арбалета необходима комбинация пяти предметов. Число возможных комбинаций довольно велико (более полусотни).

Способности персонажа (навыки)
По мере использования особых способностей персонажа растут его навыки (элементы RPG в игре). Например, персонаж может посадить пшеницу, виноград, ягодный куст. Чем больше таких операций он совершит, тем больше его опыт. При накоплении нового уровня опыта открывается новая способность — например, сажать обычные деревья, а затем — и плодовые деревья, кокосовые пальмы и пр.

Всего есть пять навыков — охота, рыбалка, рубка леса, земляные работы (умение копать землю лопатой, находить полезные вещи), посадка растений.

Посадка растений
Пшеница и конопля отличается от прочих выращиваемых растений тем, что для сбора урожая растение приходится вырывать с корнем, а затем высаживать семена. Виноград, ягоды, плоды с деревьев собираются много раз подряд, не повреждая растения, то есть их выращивание гораздо менее трудоёмко, но не так интенсивно развивает соответствующий навык.

При посадке пшеницы нужно помнить о саранче. Саранча нападает на поля, если игрок посадил слишком много пшеницы, и может уничтожить весь урожай. Саранчу нужно уничтожать (при этом растёт навык охоты), причём мертвых насекомых можно собирать и использовать как наживку при рыбалке.

При рубке посаженных деревьев надо помнить что, срубив такое дерево вы можете получить только ветки, листья и лианы. Деревья имеют наибольший период созревания (более недели), если дерево срублено до этого момента, оно не даёт брёвен. Определить, что дерево созрело, можно по цвету его коры (сравнивая его с цветом у заведомо взрослого растения).

Приручение обезьян
Чтобы приручить обезьяну понадобится 3-5 банана. Бананы можно сорвать на некоторых пальмах. Далее находим обезьяну и кидаем перед ней (но не в неё!) 3-5 банана. Вот вы и приручили обезьяну, она будет бегать где и бегала, но не исчезнет. Она может вам принести воды, палки, листья.

Сразу же после приручения обезьяны в строительном меню в разделе «Разное» появляется новое здание — Обезьянья школа. В ней за 15 бананов можно приручённую обезьяну выдрессировать до транспортной обезьяны. Транспортная обезьяна может переносить предметы (общей массой не более 10 кг), но не сможет принести вам воды, палки, листья.
Животные в игре могут быть дружественными и враждебными, например: у обезьяны есть родственник — когтистая обезьяна, это та же обезьяна, но будет вас атаковать.

Copper textured spinner ring with Hamilton gold spinner. I texture the copper in a design that reminds me of the trunk of a tree. The spinner is Hamilton gold which I stamp little mountains on.
The band is approximately 1/2" wide. When ordering you may request no stamping on the Hamilton gold, mountains, or stripe to match the texture of the copper.
Put your ring size and desired gold finish in the comments when ordering. Allow 6-10 days production time as each component is hand forged. My Wyoming Silvers stamp can be seen on the inside of the band.

Hernan Bas at Victoria Miro, London
26 April – 31 May 2014
Victoria Miro Gallery II
16 Wharf Road, London N1 7RW
Hernan Bas at Victoria Miro, London. -The American artist Hernan Bas has built an international reputation over the last decade for paintings that merge still life, portraiture and landscape within a deeply romantic sensibility. His work portrays an overt theatricality, offering a queering of historical genres, and is populated by beautiful objects and alluring boys—Bas never depicts women. His canvases are dense with incidence and intrigue, and can be aligned to artists such as Neo Rauch and Daniel Richter who similarly applied a flamboyant narrativity to figuration. If Rauch and Richter feel a little heavy metal, then Bas' approach can be situated more on the dance floor. The paintings are exalted; at once psychedelic and narcotic. Victoria Miro presents a new series of paintings and works on paper across two venues, which are brought together under the single title "Memphis Living." Lifted from the post-modern Italian design collective Memphis Group, the title articulates Bas' interest in the historical impetus of design and decoration. The group was noted in the '80s for their elision of applied arts with a formal eclecticism, and Bas' new paintings are packed with references to the group's work. This playfulness and historical layering brings new energy to an old technique. The exhibition, the artist's fourth with the gallery, coincides with the most comprehensive monograph on the artist to date, published by Rizzoli. (George Vasey)

Cool Phones giveaways free Sony Ericsson Vivaz, Nokia X3, Sony Ericsson Hazel, Motorola XT720 MOTOROI, Motorola BACKFLIP, and HTC Google Nexus One product information. I'm pretty sure that the cell phone market surprises everyone every now and then, as cell phone designers have managed to churn out so many wonderful phone designs into the market. Generally, cool phones are being released into the market periodically, and this particular site will highlight some of the coolest upcoming phones that will be available in the consumer market. To tell you the truth, I would definitely like to own several of these cool cell phones, as you can easily swap your phones every now and then, so that you'll have a new cool phone wherever you go.
Of course, there are several leading cell phone manufacturers who are spearheading the cool phones race, and these manufacturers are Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, LG, Apple, BlackBerry and many more.
Basically, this particular web portal will review several cool phones in the market.
Personally, I find the Sony Ericsson Vivaz to be a very attractive phone indeed. I believe that this particular phone is one of Sony Ericsson's maiden efforts in creating a touchscreen-based smartphone-like cool phone. What attracts me the most about this particular phone is the shinny display and it also comes with an unusually round design too. I don't think that Sony Ericsson has designed such a phone in the past, whereby the company primarily focuses on candy-bar phones for the past couple of years. Also, Sony Ericsson has mentioned that this particular phone is capable of delivering 1080 content via its miniature form factor. Also, you can expect to snap good photos via the phone, as the Vivaz is equipped with an 8 megapixel camera.
The next phone which really caught my attention is none other than the Motorola XT720 MOTOROI. Personally, I think Motorola achieved tremendous success with their Android phone, dubbed as the Motorola MILESTONE or DROID in US, and I believe that the company wants to repeat their success, simply by introducing the next generation Motorola XT720 MOTOROI that will be based on the Android 2.0 operating system. Personally, I find the design of the phone to be rather odd, as the MOTOROI isn't really that squarish, but it comes with a bulge at the bottom right corner – perhaps Motorola thinks this might be cool?
Generally, Nokia continues to 'WOW' the mobile phone market, simply by introducing more and more 'bizarre' looking cool phones into the market. Personally, I think Nokia phones have taken a twist lately, whereby the company has reduced their overall 'bizarre-ness' for their phones, and one of their technological wonders which they manage to produce is none other than the Nokia X6. I find this particular phone to be very sleek indeed, as it is a touchscreen-based phone that comes with 16M colors display. There's also a scratch-resistant glass on top of the phone, which is perfect for rough users. And to top that, Nokia is pretty generous in providing ample of storage space for you to store your files, whereby the phone comes with a whopping 32GB internal memory.
Well I just hope that you'll find these cool phones reviews to be very informational indeed. Just visit the phone's respective pages to get a better overview on the phone itself.
Cheers and have fun with the site!

The Construction of hydro projects in Bhutan is essentially a government to government business, with the main beneficiary being big Indian contractors handling all the main works.
The local communities are literally left in the dust as they either see only temporary or marginal benefits, which is outweighed by the loss of land and the impacts of the project.
Therefore, the hydro committee report's recommendation to better benefit and involve the local communities in the projects is a welcome move.
Of the recommendations, one of the most important is to revise the land and asset acquisition compensation rates as the 2009 PAVA rates are outdated and do not reflect the market reality.
Hydro projects in Bhutan, like in the case of Gedu and Bajo see a huge increase in private building constructions to accommodate the projects staff and workers, but there are problems once the workers leave and the staff move into the project colony.
There has to be better coordination and involvement of the local government in projects to ensure that while the locals can benefit they must also not be allowed to incur huge losses. A project may last for a maximum of 10 years but a housing bank loan has to be paid back over 20 long years.
The majority of Bhutan's population is still engaged in agriculture but it is an irony that the projects get most of their food from outside. Better and stronger measures must be put in place to ensure that local agricultural produce can supply the projects.
The report has also correctly pointed out on the generic and poor quality of the Environmental Impact Assessments for the projects and the need to have longer term environmental and social monitoring.
We still do not know of the impact of a project on a local community at various levels and how to mitigate them or even prevent them in the next project.
We are also in the dark on the long term environmental impact of a project on marine life and the surrounding ecology and measures to mitigate them in future projects.
Eternal vigilance is the price of eternal development.

Los Angeles Jewish Leaders Condemn Donald Sterling
Posted on May 4, 2014 by Luke Ford
The more religious the Jew, the less he cares about Donald Sterling's putative racism. The more religious the Jew, the less he cares about what people say privately. The more religious the Jew, the less he cares about the goyim and their sensitivities. The more religious the Jew, the less he cares for blacks. There is no mitzva against racism in the Torah and there is no divine directive in the Jewish tradition to fight bigotry. Instead, it is usually a made-up way to be Jewish by those who aren't interested in studying and observing the Torah.
Do you think Jews in Williamsburg, Crown Heighs and Mear Shearim care about Donald Sterling? Do you think they care about blacks? These Jews, when they talk about blacks, often say things far harsher than Sterling's recently revealed remarks.
If you go to any traditional Orthodox shul, you'll be unlikely to find any concern about civil rights for blacks and latinos and Muslims and gays.
It is the secular Jew who is more likely to think that being pro-civil rights is essential to his Jewish identity.
Those Jews who speak out against what Donald sterling said in private are out of touch with Judaism. They are moral show-offs who are alien to the rabbinic tradition. And they are lighting the fires of the next crematoria.
Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Museum of Tolerance told the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles: "There's no place in America for this kind of racism. We believe the action to ban him for life is correct, and we will not accept any donations from Donald Sterling in the future."
If there is no place in America for this kind of racism, that means that Rabbi Hier and the Museum of Tolerance either stand for genocide against people who speak like Donald Sterling (probably a majority of the population at one time or another) or for ethnic cleansing (the forceful expulsion of most people out of America). I see no alternative meaning to what the rabbi says. He is effectively calling for totalitarian surveillance of private speech and the end of the First Amendment by making this kind of conversation, talk that was common sense for most of America's history, illegal.
As for not taking Donald Sterling's money, I am sure that an examination of Rabbi Hier's donors would reveal people far more unsavory than Donald Sterling.
The more religious the Jewish organization, the more likely they are to have no problem taking money from the likes of Donald Sterling. Rabbi Hier's Museum of Tolerance has no precedence in Torah and it primarily appeals to those who are ignorant of the rabbinic tradition.
Banning Sterling for life "is what should happen whenever someone makes anti-Semitic or racist remarks, as millions of people are touched by this view," according to Hier. So if anyone says anything like this in private they should be banned for life from public life. Wow. Rabbi Hier's worldview is totalitarian. I wonder if he advocates putting people like Sterling into re-education camps or does he just want them dead or simply expelled from America?
Jewish Federation of Los Angeles CEO Jay Sanderson says: "Donald Sterling is clearly not a member of the Jewish community." Why exactly? Because he said racist things in private? If that is the standard, most Jews are not part of the Jewish community. The Torah commands the genocide of a particular race — Amalek. The Torah community must not be part of the Jewish community. Israel is systematically rounding up African immigrants in the country illegally and shipping them back to Africa. Israel and its supporters must not be part of the Jewish community according to this type of thinking.
If Jewish organizations were happy to take Donald Sterling's money before these latest remarks, there is no moral reason to stop taking it now. If you are doing good, then Donald Sterling's money will help you do more good. Do you care more about how you preen publicly or how much good you do?

20 Shocking Film Urban Legends You Won't Believe
By Angelina Wiza entertainment, creepy, movies, urban legends
Have you ever watched a film and thought that there was more going on than it seemed? Whilst they're there for our entertainment, there's something about some movies which seems a little off, and try as we might, we just can't shake the fact that something's amiss. Well, it turns out that you might have been right all along. There are dozens of films out there with creepy urban legends attached to them. When the cameras are off, the story doesn't stop and in these films, there's much more going on behind the lens than you might have thought.
If you were born at any point during the '90s, then the chances are that you have seen Disney classic The Lion King at one point or another. Did you know, however, that there is more to the film than meets the eye? In a nighttime scene, it is reported that you can read the letters S-E-X written in the dust, planted by a troublesome animator. Whilst studios claimed that it actually read S-F-X, the scene nonetheless provoked anger among conservative viewers.
The story of The Wizard of Oz is one of the most uplifting in all of cinema but unbeknownst to some, it is filled with sinister undertones. When Dorothy, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man walked down the yellow brick road, it is said that you could see a ghostly figure dangling in the distance. Some say that it was the body of one of the munchkin actors who hanged himself on set and whilst it has been argued over for decades, no-one really knows the truth.
Three men find their life turned over when they are left with the task of rearing an abandoned baby. Whilst a comedy at heart, Three Men and a Baby might have much more scary origins and in one scene, it is said that you could see the figure of a ghost in the background, watching from a behind a door.
The Omen could be the most terrifying film of all time but not for the reasons that you might have thought. Whilst the action on screen was scary, it is the things which happened away from the cameras which left the most lasting impact. Among other things, cast and crew were struck by lightning, airplanes were brought to the ground, locations were bombed and a special effects artist was killed. If there ever was a cursed film, then surely this is it.

Servant Leadership. Putting others' interests ahead of one's own.
In addition to things like competence, honesty, and reliability, the above-mentioned attributes are usually the ones people mention when asked to describe a leader who they could trust. I've asked thousands across the globe, and these come up all the time. But many of the same people fall deathly silent when asked to honestly answer if they are truly selfless servant leaders who always put others' interests ahead of their own, or if their people fully trust them.
My point is this: most people reference "self before others" type of attributes as prerequisites to trusting a leader. But if they are totally honest with themselves, they will admit that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to be selfless all the time. The basic human (survival) instinct is to take care of one's own interest first. By expecting leaders to be selfless, are we demanding something that goes against the very grain of human existence? What if we were to accept putting one's own interest before others' as normal? Put another way, can we trust someone who is self-centered and wants the very best for himself first?
The answer to that question ought to be a big yes, but under one condition; the person also works equally hard to maximize your gain. In my experience, I have found that the best leaders don't pretend to be who they are not . They fully acknowledge their own ambitions for themselves and take care of others' needs equally. They don't believe in zero-sum games, they believe in abundance. They practice what savvy negotiators refer to as win-win outcomes by working extremely hard to maximize their own gain AND working equally hard to maximize others' gain. They understand that one's gain need not be another's loss. Metaphorically, they believe in growing the pie, so that when it is divided everyone gets an equally big slice. They also recognize that to reach a win-win outcome, it is important to fully understand the other sides' concerns, needs, and priorities.
As an example of these principles, consider what happened to me recently. After several rounds of meetings during which we established a good relationship with a prospective client, we sent a proposal for a consulting assignment quoting $100,000. When our contact at the client company received our proposal, he balked at what he considered too high a price for the work involved. He called and told us there was no way he could do business with us for that price, and unless we were willing to negotiate, he'd go shopping with other firms. We checked our numbers and reconfirmed that the price we had quoted was reasonable and fair.
But before we walked away from the deal, we asked him what his concerns were, and if there was a way to make the numbers work. Upon further discussion, we learned that the company's selection committee was skeptical about working with us because we were a small boutique firm and our pricing was very close to what was being quoted by bigger, established firms. Our contact told us he needed a basis to justify choosing us, so he needed a lower quote. He also said if we did a good job, there was significant potential for follow-on business.
While we appreciated his position, we found it impossible to lower the numbers. So, to address the selection committee's concern about our small size and relatively lesser known brand, we offered to do a free two-hour presentation on digital transformation for their entire senior management before delivering on the larger consulting work. We also offered to refund 20% of our fees if we failed to deliver the desired results. With this offer, the client signed off on our full pricing.
What happened here? Through honest dialogue, we convinced our client that we had their best interests at heart and were willing to go the extra mile to give them exactly what they wanted. We saw the opportunity to present to their entire senior management as a good credibility building exercise, so we had no hesitation in offering this "extra value" to them. Furthermore, since we had completed many similar projects before, we were confident of delivering on our promises.
Hence it was not difficult for us to offer a refund in the event the client was not satisfied. By working to understand our clients' concern, we were able to offer a win-win solution. The key here is, we did not give up on our own interest, but worked very hard to maximize the benefit for our client as well. Once we won their trust in this way, they showed no hesitation in signing on the dotted line … on our originally quoted price.
Instead, they will go out of their way to make me as successful as possible without giving up their own interest. Such a person would be acting in accordance with basic human instinct, not against it. That's why I would trust them.
It is time to give up clichés about selflessness and embrace the pursuit of self-interest and ambition as normal. If you really want to achieve something, why pretend otherwise? The key is to think and act in a way that creates full satisfaction (win-win) for both parties.
Sudah jelas, untuk kekal bertahan dalam satu-satu industri itu, kita perlu mengetahui apakah value proposition yang diperlukan oleh pelanggan. Bukan itu sahaja kita mesti mampu memastikan value proposition tersebut tidak mampu ditiru oleh competitor kita!
Airbnb, Tesla, Apple, Alibaba, Google, Zappos, Uber, are good examples of "exponential organizations", where output is disproportionally large because of new organizational techniques that leverage accelerating technologies. And while technologies such as artificial intelligence, nanothechnology, robotics, and digital biology are rapidly redefining the work environment, the practice of developing leaders for these organizations is lagging. What is the new model of leadership for 2020-2050?
Successful leaders in the open source era are "autocratic" or single-minded about their vision, mission, and purpose. But they also display an unshakeable adherence to their core values, a deep awareness of themselves, and a generally compassionate treatment of others. Leaders will need to be resilient, revolutionary, and remarkable in their purpose, yet considerate and empathetic in building collaboration.
Sememangnya cara hidup kita berubah dari segala segi!

An exceptional country house in superb edge of village location with separate coach house 1 bed annexe
Stanbrook Grange is tucked away in a quiet and secluded location on the edge of the hill overlooking the popular village of Callow End, a particularly sought after village to the south west of Worcester. The village benefits from an excellent primary school, village shop and public houses. More extensive shopping and leisure facilities are to be found in the city of Worcester and Malvern, and further afield at Cheltenham. The area is extremely well provided for with a range of schools to suit most requirements, both state and private, including Kings School and RGS in Worcester and The Downs, Malvern College and Malvern St James in Malvern. For the commuter there is easy access to the M5 at Junction 7, providing routes to Birmingham in the north and London in the south. The nearest station is at Malvern Link, approximately 3 miles away.
Stanbrook Grange is a most impressive country house, originally dating from the 17th Century with Georgian extensions and then substantially extended remodelled and refurbished by the present owners in 2006. The end result is a perfect blend of attractive period features coupled with luxurious modern features making for a fabulous family home, a short walk from the centre of the village. The attention to detail throughout the property is exceptional with the use of replacement sash windows, beautifully fitted fireplaces and at the heart of the house, the most superb kitchen breakfast room with central island, range cooker and a glass topped well. To one side is a very high quality Rebate conservatory with underfloor heating. There are 3 superb principal reception rooms to the ground floor with a fine drawing room, having high ceilings and a beautifully fitted fireplace, sitting room/library with open fireplace, fitted with an extensive range of bookshelves and storage cupboards and, at the far end of the corridor, a large dining room, excellent for entertaining on a large scale. Stairs lead down to a basement family/games/media room which has underfloor heating and an external staircase, an invaluable room for any family.
To the first floor there is a generous landing with curved wall leading through to the generous master bedroom suite, having a double aspect with superb views and a door leading through to a sumptuous en-suite shower room combined with dressing room, having a wall of fitted wardrobes by Hammond. The 3 additional double bedrooms all have a superb aspect at the front of the property with views over Callow End, and are served by 2 bathrooms at either end of the landing. Other features of Stanbrook Grange include a central sound system with speakers fitted to the kitchen, drawing room, sitting room, study, master bedroom suite and also into the garden.
Located just beyond Stanbrook Grange is the detached Coach House, a beautifully converted two storey building serving as ancillary accommodation to the main house. It has been converted to a similarly high standard to the main house with a large entrance hall, sitting room/office and fitted kitchen to the ground floor. Stairs lead to the first floor with a large landing dressing room leading through to the double bedroom and to one side, the en-suite bathroom. Attached to the rear of the coach house is a large garden store for all the garden machinery.
Grounds and gardens
Stanbrook Grange is approached over a quiet lane from the village road, with a pair of wooden electric gates opening onto a private gravelled driveway which climbs up a gentle hill towards a gravelled parking area to the side of the main house. The gardens are an absolute delight and complement the property perfectly, primarily laid to lawn with an architecturally striking feature being the rill directly opposite the front door, flanked by lavender borders and drawing the eye through the garden to the views beyond. There are many seating areas around the property including a beautiful paved sunken terrace within the orchard, circular in shape and a wonderful area to contemplate the beautiful gardens around. On a raised bank beyond the Coach House is an extensively stocked rose garden featuring both shrub and climbing roses over an impressive pergola. Stone steps lead down to a lower lawn and throughout the garden there are mature trees interspersed. The main lawns are kept beautifully manicured by the Husqvarna Automower which is included in the sale. In all, the garden extends to about 1.08 acres (0.44 ha).
The adjoining land in our clients' ownership, extending to approximately 12.6 acres, could be available by separate negotiation.

Mushroom trimming are inedible part and small size of whole mushroom, which is exhibited during sizing, trimming and cleaning process. They are agricultural waste and not being used to its advantage. Mushroom trimming may be enrich source of bioactive compounds. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidative activities and polyphenoloxidase inhibitory effects of 70% ethanolic extracts from the trimming part of 5 mushroom species, namely black mushroom (Lentinus edodes), sarjor-caju mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju), king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii), brown beech mushroom (Hypsizygus tessellatus) and white beech mushroom (Hypsizygus marmoreus). The content of total phenolic compound (TPC), DPPH radical scavenging activity and inhibition of polyphenoloxidase of 5 mushroom trimming extracts were determined. The result showed that TPC, DPPH radical scavenging activity and inhibition of polyphenoloxidase of 5 mushroom trimming extracts were significant (p≤0.05). The black mushroom trimming extract (BMTE) had highest TPC (6.57g GAE/100 g dry basis), DPPH radical scavenging activity (EC50 = 1.93) and inhibition of polyphenoloxidase (% PPO inhibition = 20.3-43.7%). Thus, BMTE was selected to study the effect of melanosis formation in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The white shrimp were treated by immersed in BMTE solution at different concentrations (0.5, 1.0 1.5 and 2.0% (w/v)) for 60 min. It was found that shrimp treated with 1.5 and 2.0% (w/v) BMTE had the lower melanosis score and considered to be acceptable by the panelists. The decreased of mean gray values was more slowly in treated samples, compared with other treated samples (p≤0.05). This study indicated efficiency that BMTE was an alternative natural melanosis inhibitor for retardation of melanosis in shrimp during post-mortem storage.

Jodel Solo (Solo Yodelling)
Performance series
Museum: Roothuus Gonten 'Zentrum fÜr Appenzeller und Toggenburger Volksmusik (Centre for Traditional Music of Appenzell and Toggenburg regions) website
Years: 2014/15 (1st edition), 2018 (2nd edition)
Roothuus Gonten 'Zentrum fÜr Appenzeller und Toggenburger Volksmusik (Centre for Traditional Music of Appenzell and Toggenburg regions)
The 'Roothuus Gonten 'Zentrum für Appenzeller und Toggenburger Volksmusik' aims to safeguard and further develop traditional music and yodelling (i.e. mainly the ICH domains of 'oral traditions and expressions' and of 'performing arts') in the regions of Appenzell and Toggenburg, Switzerland. 'Folk music in the Appenzellerland and Toggenburg regions' was inscribed in the national ICH inventory, published in 2012 (www.lebendige-traditionen.ch/traditionen/00186/index.html?lang=en).
The 'Roothuus Gonten' is simultaneously
a museum (exhibiting musical instruments, pictures of musicians, other music related objects, and the building, dating from 1764, with its original interior setting),
a library (holding all relevant publications about traditional music in the regions of Appenzell and Toggenburg),
an archive (preserving music manuscripts and recordings),
a partner for research teams (documenting and studying in field researches the current practice of traditional music),
and an organiser of musical activities.
ICH practitioners are mainly involved in the concerts, which are held regularly at the 'Roothuus Gonten'. Some give courses there, contributing to the transmission of musical knowledge. Singers and musicians are invited to deposit their manuscripts of musical compositions at the Roothuus or hand over old manuscripts. Written sources of traditional music are edited, published, and made available to contemporary practitioners of traditional music.
The institution has grown out of a private initiative. Over the years, it has received ever broader support and is financed today by the cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, and St. Gallen; by the district of Gonten and the Appenzellische GemeinnÜtzigen Gesellschaft; by foundations (on a project-related basis); and by donations from private persons. The collaboration of the three cantons, being the main founders of the 'Roothuus Gonten', is remarkable, because each of them have their own cultural policy according to the federalist political system of Switzerland. In 2003, when the foundation was established, only the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden was participating. The canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, having been invited to participate from 1999 on, only became a co-founder in 2005. The canton of St. Gallen joined as co-founder in 2009, and 2014 saw the name change of the 'Zentrum fÜr Appenzellische Volksmusik' to include the St. Gallen region of Toggenburg. This gradual 'and sometimes questioned 'expansion of collaboration to position the 'Roothuus Gonten' as an umbrella institution for the safeguarding of traditional music and yodelling in all three regions relates to the emphasis ICH practitioners put on their regional differences rather than on their similarities. In today's activities of the 'Zentrum fÜr Appenzeller und Toggenburger Volksmusik' it is crucial to always consider each of the regions equally. The representatives of the three cantons in the foundation council support and monitor this equal consideration.
The 'Roothuus Gonten' is also active in establishing a national network to further promote traditional music and singing. It cooperates therefore with institutions with similar goals and activities.

Description of the project / practice / program
Two yodellers performed as soloists for 15 minutes each at a selected outdoor location in the regions of Appenzell and Toggenburg. Each performance location had its own landscape and acoustic properties, but weather conditions would interfere in each particular performance. To reach these stages, located in nature, one had to leave roads and walk up a hill, through grassland or into a forest. The performances took place at times when singing was originally performed to accompany specific actions, such as 6 am for milking the cows, or 9 pm to pray for protection of the mountain pastures and against harm in the night. The aim of the project was twofold (www.roothuus-gonten.ch/cms/images/JODELSOLO/DasProjekt.pdf):
We would like to give solo yodelling a special stage.
We would like to revive solo yodelling in everyday life.
Performances were attended by up to 50 listeners, mostly from the three regions. As expected, due to the unusual performance times, some performances had no audience, but the singers reported that it made them aware that they are, as individuals, important for the safeguarding of the tradition. The performances in the 'Jodel Solo' series were recorded in a documentation project on current yodelling practices.
How were practitioners of intangible cultural heritage involved?
30 to 60 yodellers were performing in this project, each as soloist and, at the final event, together with others. They were singing the regional variants of yodelling, the 'Rugguusseli' (Appenzell Innerrhoden), the 'Zauerli' (Appenzell Ausserrhoden), and 'Johle' (Toggenburg), as well as other forms of yodelling.
CV of the author
Marc-Antoine Camp
Marc-Antoine Camp is council member of the foundation 'Roothuus Gonten', running the 'Zentrum für Appenzeller und Toggenburger Volksmusik', and head of music education research at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland. His research and publications focus on music education, the transmission of musical knowledge, and the concept of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Switzerland, Brazil, and China.
LESSONS LEARNT
Talk to neighbours: Small differences in viewpoints and the lack of pragmatic solutions lead to neighbours losing money in numerous lawsuits. Small differences in cultural heritage, emphasised by the neighbouring populations of Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and St. Gallen's Toggenburg, are often also aspects of conflicts, albeit not in court. The 'Roothuus Gonten' opts to not only avoid neighbours' conflicts, but to link their cultural heritages. Based on a collaboration mainly between three cantons and intense network activities among ICH practitioners, the 'Roothuus Gonten' is able to make a synergetic and decisive contribution to the safeguarding of ICH culture in all three regions. However, the 'Roothuus Gonten' has to continuously negotiate and re-affirm this collaboration in cultural policy by equally involving all regions in their activities. The 'Jodel Solo' project, with the integration of ICH actors from all regions, illustrates how collaborations between actors of cultural policy and inclusion of ICH bearers are not only time consuming endeavours for a museum, but also a way to guarantee a strong anchoring of an institution in its culturally heterogeneous target population.
Go outdoors: To invite people to experience ICH in particular public spaces or even in original functional settings can increase its visibility and audibility, therefore promoting its valorisation. When exhibiting ICH outside their walls, museums may reach people who perceive these institutions as having a high threshold or who are not motivated to undertake long travel to the museum. One of the aims of 'Jodel Solo' was to make a step towards potential future museum visitors and reach them with an immediacy that was not possible in the spaces of the 'Roothuus Gonten'. The performance series outside the museum was not only a valorisation of the ICH itself, but also made the 'Roothuus Gonten', as the institution promoting ICH, more visible.

Exporters association FIEO on Thursday urged the government to resolve the bank credit issue so as to enable the sector help achieve double digit growth.
PSU Banks officials including MDs, EDs, GMs, AGMs are not accessible to exporters particularly from the MSME sector. This has tightened the hands of these exporters to take orders, said FIEO President Ganesh Kumar Gupta.
Commerce Minister, Mr Suresh Prabhu, who is taking several steps to promote exports would not fructify if banks would not lend to exporters smoothly and at affordable rates, he added.
These banks demand bundles of documents, collateral and other papers for considering our applications for smaller limit (Rs one to five crores) of loan. It takes months and months to get these limits approved and in the mean time we loose our orders, he further said.
Gupta said similar is the problem with the ECGC, which is very reluctant to extend insurance cover. They reject claims on very flimsy grounds.
I would urge the Commerce Minister to look at the matter on an urgent basis. If banks and ECGC continue to behave like this, we would not be able to register double digit growth rate in exports, the FIEO official said.
